As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.
On the first day that Lin Yan came to the Prime first team, he would inevitably compare his teammates in the first team with those in the reserve team.
Comparing it like this, it made him feel extremely comfortable. It was like a Glory King who used to play ranked with the three strongest kings and an Eternal Diamond, but now his teammates have suddenly become Glory Kings.
Even Lion, who is at a lower level in Prime's first team, did not cause much discomfort to Lin Yan. Playing with Lion was much more comfortable than with Chen Ye.
At this moment, he finally understood Wu Zi's good intentions and why he assigned Chen Ye to the reserve team.
Wu Zi is right, this can indeed increase the difficulty for the reserve team. If Chen Ye can win the game in the reserve team, then when he comes to the first team, he will have the confidence to win every battle.
After a few training matches, it was noon.
During the lunch break, coach Han Xiaojun came over to explain matters related to the upcoming Honor of Kings Winter Champions Cup and team trials.
According to the rules, the top four teams in the KPL Autumn Split do not need to go through trials. They will directly qualify for the Champions Cup. The top four teams in the KPL Autumn Split are Tiangong, Temple, RoyalSoul and Longxing Tianxia.
Team.
The Prime team is not one of them. The Prime team unfortunately stopped in the quarterfinals in the autumn competition.
This also means that they will have to play one more round of selection rounds than these four teams.
Walking in front of the team members, Han Xiaojun said straight to the point: "The trials for the Winter Champions Cup will be in two days. There have been some changes in the rules of this year's competition. Have you all seen the announcement?"
"I looked at it, and I looked at it immediately. There are a total of 9 teams shortlisted for the selection this time, 4 from the KPL, 3 from the sub-league, and two teams from overseas competitions..." Wang
He said with wealth as numerous as treasures.
Han Xiaojun nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Lin Yan: "Lin Yan, have you read the announcement?"
Just like in school, teachers like to ask questions about new transfer students, the same is true in the team, coaches also like to ask questions about newly joined players.
Lin Yan immediately nodded and said, "I saw it."
"Well, please tell me about the competition rules of the Winter Champions Cup selection." Han Xiaojun asked the question again.
Lin Yan was also unambiguous. This was not a problem for him.
"Okay, there are a total of nine teams participating in the Winter Champions Cup selection, and the selection is a BO1 points match. The so-called BO1 points match means that the team competes with other teams in a game, and wins with 1
points, and 1 point will be deducted if you lose, which means that in the end, each team will play eight games..."
Hearing this, Han Xiaojun nodded with satisfaction.
Lin Yan's narrative is very clear.
"That's right, as Lin Yan said, the trials adopt an exciting BO1 points system. Every two teams only play against each other once, and the winner is decided in a single game! Each team must show off its own unique skills.
Only then can we win this battle of life and death!"
The other members of Team Prime had different reactions after hearing this.
Some are gearing up and eager to try, while others are frowning and worried.
At this time, captain Su Zhe said: "In a BO1 game, the suspense of the outcome is very high, because we have to consider the distribution of red and blue, the BP link, and the status of the players. A strong team may not win, and a weak team may not lose."
.”
"Yes, that's why it's exciting." Han Meng said with a smile. She was in a good mood.
Han Xiaojun nodded, and then said: "After eight exciting BO1 games, the top four in points will be eligible to advance to the next round. Although the strength of our Prime team ranks among the top among these nine teams,...
There are too many variables in determining the outcome of the game, so we must not take it lightly."
As soon as these words came out, the Prime team members responded one after another:
"clear!"
"knew!"
"I will definitely not let down my guard."
"OK."
After talking about the competition system, Han Xiaojun turned his attention to Lin Yan and Han Meng.
As soon as he saw the coach's eyes, Lin Yan knew what he was going to say next.
The issue of the appearance of two players.
As junglers of the Prime team, Lin Yan and Han Meng have overlapping positions. Although Han Meng will retire at the end of this season, since Han Xiaojun has decided to mention Lin Yan to the first team in the Winter Champions Cup, he is definitely not allowed to come.
Sitting on the bench.
He must play to have any meaning in joining the first team.
As expected, Han Xiaojun said at this time: "Lin Yan, Han Meng, you two have overlapping positions, you are both junglers. According to the practice of our Prime team, you two must compete fairly next."
"Um……"
Han Meng nodded lightly and said,
"It was the same when I first joined Team Prime."
After hearing this, the veterans of the first team such as Su Zhe and Wangcai couldn't help but think of the scene at that time. The two people competing at that time were Han Meng and Akon, and the positions where the two people were standing happened to be where Lin Yan and Han Meng are now.
s position.
Three generations of junglers, three people, outline a glorious timeline in the esports history of the Prime team.
At this time, Han Xiaojun said: "According to the regulations, from now on, you two will take turns playing. No matter you win or lose the game, everyone will play one game. Do you understand?"
Han Meng and Lin Yan immediately nodded and said, "Understood."
Each person plays one game, regardless of winning or losing. This ensures that both people have the same appearance rate during this period and play enough games.
In this way, the sample pool will be large enough and the data given will have sufficient reference value.
The remaining tasks will be handed over to the data analysis team of the Prime team. They will analyze the data, winning rate, and game status of the two players in detail to decide who should stay in the team as the chief jungler.
.
The same was true when Han Meng and Akon competed.
It's just that this time the competition is somewhat formalistic, because no matter whether Lin Yan can beat Han Meng or not, Han Meng will leave the team and choose to retire after the season.
At this time, Han Xiaojun said again: "Lin Yan, because Han Meng is the senior, so in your competition, Han Meng will be given priority. Do you have any objection?"
"Of course not." Lin Yan nodded.
In fact, if the Prime team hadn't stipulated the appearance rules, Lin Yan would have wanted Han Meng to play more games.
After all, Han Meng's time in KPL is running out, and the current game is to play one less game.
Lin Yan knew that Han Meng was still attached to this arena and that her choice to retire was a last resort. Therefore, because of this, he also hoped that Han Meng could hide in the arena and stay for a while.
It's a pity that time is not forgiving.
"Very good, that's no problem. Let's prepare well and wait for the trials in two days." Han Xiaojun said, and then disbanded the team.
It's time to go have lunch, there is a new training match to be played in the afternoon.
The members of Team Prime walked to the restaurant in pairs, and Lin Yan naturally walked with Han Meng.
Han Meng did not rush to the restaurant to eat. Instead, he asked Lin Yan with a smile: "How is it? Are you confident that you can beat me?"
"Of course I have confidence, I am a powerful shadow demon!" Lin Yan responded half-jokingly.
It's just that although the content of what he said was joking, the tone was not relaxed.
Seeing Lin Yan's appearance, Han Meng had already guessed what was on his mind.
"What? Do you feel sorry for me? Do you think I shouldn't retire so early?"
"Well... yes." Lin Yan nodded and admitted, "Prime. Chasing Dreams under the Moon, is this the most famous ID in KPL currently? Maybe only Chang Ge is more famous than you... You just retired like this
,Really...are you really not sorry?"
"Of course I will regret it." Han Meng said honestly, "But retreating bravely is what a wise man does. You should also be able to see that my current state is no longer the number one jungler in KPL, let alone Tiangong's Meng Shang
, the sail of the temple, the rising dragon in the world, they all have the potential to surpass me..."
After hearing this, Lin Yan remained silent with regret.
He knew that what Han Meng said was right and that all of this was true.
Han Meng smiled and said calmly: "So instead of staying and letting my fans see that I am gradually losing my ability, it is better to give them a glorious ending. Xiaoyan, help me win the Winter Champions Cup trophy, and then
